Cement is an essential ingredient
to the construction industry which is growing at a
phenomenal pace due to the post-conflict growth
trajectory of the economy. The demand for cement has
been increasing at a high rate recently due to new
infrastructure projects initiated by the Government and
the private sector, reconstruction and rehabilitation
projects launched in the conflict-affected areas in the
Northern and Eastern Provinces, as well as growing trend
witnessed in the housing development programmes.

The cement industry and trade estimate the cement market
amounts to 4.2 million MT per annum. Some industries
experts believe that the quantity of the Sri Lankan
cement market is now even at the peak level of 6.2
million MT per annum. It is also estimated that the
market is growing at the rate of 10% per annum.
According to the Central Bank Report 2012, the
construction sub sector recorded an impressive growth of
21.6% compared to 14.2% in 2011. There are two different
sectors in development, public sector and private
sector. Public sector construction projects,
particularly in the areas of infrastructure development
projects such as road development, power projects, port
and airport development and housing development projects
provided a substantial impetus to the growth in the
sector. The private sector contributed towards the
growth in the sub sectors like hotel and housing
construction activities.
